Before & After (originals below) (Patreon)

I cut my dress down the middle and had to edit the ruffles, because you can see it looks torn and tacky...it's a goodwill dress.  (I always find my costumes and props at second hand shops.)

 There was also a light spot on my right leg, which I smoothed out. 

Notice I posted 2 original photos... because the dress was framed better in the second picture, so I cloned and pasted it into the first picture. 

 Attention to detail makes all the difference.
